The Quatre Camins quarry, also known as the Llosar dels Francs, is an archaeological site 500m away. of the Roman villa, known as Villa Cornelius, located in Partida dels Franks. These are quarries that, according to some scholars (such as the archaeologist Miquel Ramon Martí), could be considered the most important of the Roman period in the Iberian Peninsula. The commercialization of the marble extracted from these quarries was the main source of wealth for the Iunii family, of the Galeria Tribe, owners of the plantation and the Cornelius town. The transport of the stone was done through the carriladas, that is to say, grooves in the rocks that channeled the wheels of the carts, which can still be seen on the road that leads from Énova to Barxeta. The planter has preserved marks that show that the marble was extracted forming rectangular blocks. These large blocks were transported in oxcarts to the town, where the work of stonemasons or stonemasons continued, who would fragment them and shape them into specific pieces, according to the order that needed to be served. This marble was used to make tombstones, monuments of different sizes and even slabs to pave the Roman theater in Zaragoza or the plinths of the Romanesque door of the Cathedral of Valencia.
